Punk rock 1979. First wave punk bands put out some of their best material and hardcore punk gets put on the map with one of the greatest EPs ever. We're diving into Black Flag, The Misfits, UK Subs, Germs, Stiff Little Fingers, The Damned, and the Dickies.
My Super 7 for '79:
The Damned - Machine Gun Etiquette
Black Flag - Fix Me
Germs - Lexicon Devil
Misfits - Horror Business
The Ruts - Out of Order
Buzzcocks - Harmony in my Head
X (Australia) - I Don't Wanna Go Out
Genuine laugh at “Whatever happened to Skrewdriver?”
Ha! Just sick back and wait, buddy.
Fucken hell. I don’t know if I could even put these songs in order from best to least best. They are all bangers!
Fantastic read and listen!
